YouTuber Burnout

Sorry it wasn't up yesterday! Eight and a bit minutes long...so long upload time. Ah well. Hope you enjoy it, lovely people! Let me know what you think about the algorithm, and all the other things!

Brave New World (extra cat version)

Because who needs end cards when you have Sherlock?

"Extra cat"

You will be delighted/unmoved to know that the early for Patrons version of next week's episode is entitled 'SYL 175 Brave New World Patrons extra cat". Because I decided to keep people at the end of the video with footage of Sherlock being cute.

You get thirty seconds of cat. 

Everyone else only gets ten.

You...

Something for Patrons

I recently had need of a self-taped monologue (for reasons that I will get into in the future, probably) and so, for your enjoyment, dear Patrons, here is a scene from a play called CSI: Neverland (yes, it's exactly the kind of thing you think it is) where the 911 operator is...a touch overworked.

I've been...so so so...

TEN THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS! AHHH!

In which we also talk about upcoming videos, NerdQuest, and the YouTube Space London.

10K SUBS! Early access

I haven't even added all the bells and whistles to this one yet, but I didn't manage to get you an early access video last time so I AM DETERMINED YOU GUYS. 

As always, thank you so much for all your support, you are brilliant and beautiful people, and hopefully I will be less of an exhausted wreck soon.

There's a l...

More About Stage Fighting

Tomorrow (no early access, sorry, I literally finished it today) there will be a video on Much Ado About Nothing and Beatrice and Benedict and Kenneth Branagh and being massively over the top. 

For now, I give you a post about stage combat, because man, I had some THOUGHTS. About its similarity to getting married. Because...

I Learned Stage Combat and it was AWESOME

And then having made a more scripted and less ramble video about it, I forgot to post it on Patreon for all you lovely people.

Sorry about that.

NO SORRIES! STOP SAYING YOU'RE SORRY!

Guess Who?

I don't think it'd meet Rebel Legion costuming standards, and I don't have my boots yet, but...for something I ordered off the Internet from China it actually looks pretty good!

I Aten't Dead, I Was Just Busy Pretending To Punch People

Hey! So having made this very quick video without any scripting, I've decided I should...probably have some kind of script and make a different one, which will probably be up for Tuesday. I hope.

But just for Patrons, here is the longer, more footage-heavy and slightly rambling version of What I Did On My Holidays By Jill, Age...

Jesus, Bro! The Early Bird Version :)

It's finally here! (and a day late, my bad, sorry).

I hope you find it...illuminating. And also fun. I know I did!

Before We Talk Jesus, Bro, we need to talk Pureflix

We also need to talk about Joshua Harris and a book series I hadn't thought about in a decade...until he apologised for lacking nuance and asked for people to share their experiences of his book and the issues around it.

I just found a copy of this in our church library (which shows you the last time the church library was cle...

Yeah but...Why DID the Chicken Cross The Road?

I made this AGES ago but I thought it'd be a good fill-in video for a time when I was very busy.

And lo, that time has come. Also I have conjunctivitis and it ITCHES SO MUCH ARGH ARGH ARGH THE ITCHING.

Other than that we're all pretty good here.

Thor Ragnarok (Early Bird)

I was not the biggest fan of The Dark World (though I hear most other people weren't either) but they really knocked it out of the park with this one.

UGH, I LOVED IT.

Also Thor's new hair. I love Thor's new hair. Loki still needs a shower.

You've seen the other one...

But this is the Official For-Everybody announcement video. 

PS: It was my first day today, it went really well. Hooray!

Han and Leia (Part the Second)

Yeah, it's here! Wooo!

Now with 100% more weird creepy face pulling in the thumbnail. *shrug* Whaddaya do.

Unrelated question: is there a specific movie that Jesus, Bro! is spoofing particularly? 

Asking for a friend :P

Han Leia Part 2: The Force Awakens and Stuff

Part 2! I left it on a cliffhanger but now we're finishing up. With movie knowledge but no book knowledge (though I should get those. Hey, birthday present idea!)

Enjoy, my darlings! I hope you're having a good week! I am currently editing June's episode, which will be Thor: Ragnarok!

GUESS WHAT?

No I'm not pregnant.

:D

What, I know some of you were thinking it.

Anyway, hooray! I'm rejoining the PAYE crowd! 

SYL 169 Han and Leia (Part One)

Alternative Title: I Have A Lot of Feelings and I'm Going To Share Them Whether You Like It Or Not.

So something of a return to form XD

Part Two is proving an absolute nightmare to edit as a lot of the footage inexplicably has a weird glow on the side of my head from the lights/greenscreen combo. But I'm battling on, and...

Adpocalypse 2018! Yay.

Hey, it’s a video! Which nobody got early because I made it over the weekend (woo productivity!) So if you’re wondering where the YouTube drama goes next, well...I have no idea, but I can tell you where we are now!

Streaming Now!

Or in two minutes! I think!

LIVESTREAM SATURDAY 28th April

You are all invited. Cordially invited.

It will be at 1900 BST (that's British Summer Time, by the way, which is GMT+1. Do your calculations accordingly)

It will be recorded and available for you even if you can't be there at the time, so if you have anything you particularly want me to mention,...

We're BACK, BABY.

UGGGGGHHHHHH.

CANON.

Don't even talk to me about Canon.

ARGH CANON WHY WHY DO YOU DO THIS. Also livestream next week.

Hello, Patrons.

Rest assured that soon, within the next week, I REALLY HOPE, I will have my camera back.

Also, Canon have decided to only charge me for the postage and not the repair. This is nice.

The reason? IT HAS TAKEN NINE PHONE CALLS FOUR EMAILS AND AT LEAST THREE ACTUAL PAPER LETTERS (from them) TO GET THIS ...

I have left Channel Awesome

So I made a Patron video yesterday where I said that I was going to read the whole Channel Awesome document relating to #changethechannel and come to a decision after that. I have been part of CA since mid-2014, for those unaware, when they brought on a bunch of new producers.

So I read the document: for those unsure of what I...

Camera Still Broken And Other Important Things

In which I talk about things over two years' worth of VidCon Europe footage.

Most up to date of updates:

Canon won't answer my calls*, nothing from CA since yesterday, and also my face has come out in a weird rash, possibly because I tried to clean it with a baby wipe this morning.

BUT ANYWAY, thank you all for bei...

Happy Easter, I Made Thumbnails!

I still have a whole page of them left to fix, mostly Sherlock and Firefly ones. But I was inspired by MatPat and Stephanie at VidCon to fix up my old thumbnails a bit (hey, some of those episodes aren’t half bad, go Me From The Past!) and so I did. Man, it took AGES.<br><br>I was also inspired by Alex (the LowSpec...

iGen!

YEAH MORE BOOKS! I hope that my early bird Patrons will come share their thoughts about stuff in the YouTube comments, because you're all very smart and it makes conversation much more interesting.

You're all excellent people, have I mentioned that recently?

Met People, Broke Camera AGAIN

VidConEU: fab.

Camera screen cracking: not so good.

Possibility of Canon fixing screen: maybe?

Delay of video after the iGen episode: possible.

Will keep you informed, here’s MatPat and Stephanie!

iGen early bird!

I'm off to Amsterdam tomorrow for VidCon, so here is iGen even earlier than usual for you all! Have a great week and weekend!
